liar
David \"Monsta\" Lynch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jesus said it better and He didn't have to shout.
Maybe if you change it you can get your way.
Just rearrange it and you can get paid.
A little more money comes in every day.
Faith and five dollars goes a long way.
Look at your pockets filled up with gold
And it's God bless you.
Because it's what you want.
And all our dreams come true.
When you get what you want.
All that I see when you start to cry.
Is the rock on your finger and gleam in your eye.
Your sad story is making me sick.
So change the channel cause it's getting thick.
Blind accusations is all you can say
But you'll say anything as long as you're paid.
Look for their weakness you feed on their need
But behind your eyes is nothing but greed.
Why do you lie to make me love you?
Is it your insecurity?
Have fun with your selfish ways and misguided thoughts
Cause you will always be, liar.
The song Liar by David "Monsta" Lynch is a scathing attack on greed, selfishness and hypocrisy. Through his lyrics, Lynch laments the emptiness of religious prayer that is not backed up by sincere actions. He calls attention to the irony of the fact that Jesus, who preached about love and humility, was more effective in delivering his message without ever having to raise his voice. In contrast, the singer accuses the liar of manipulating their words for their personal gain, using fake religious language, lying to people and taking advantage of their weaknesses. Despite the wealth and prosperity that the liar has gained, the song points out that they are empty inside, and their selfish thoughts have made them cold-hearted.
In the second verse, the song becomes more personal, as the singer recounts the selfishness they have witnessed from the liar. Although the liar is crying about their situation- perhaps even seeking pity- the singer cannot bring themselves to sympathize with them. Instead, they can only see the rock on the liar's finger and the gleam in their eye, and are repulsed by the liar's lack of sincerity. The liar is accused of being so consumed by their own greed that they would say anything as long as they were paid. Ultimately, Lynch asks why the liar would lie to make him love them, and dismisses them as someone who will always be a liar.
